it's always sounded like it was a transitionary track that was initially written in 1998 or 1999. It has some of the eeriness of Geogaddi but with more of the airy momentum of MHTRTC. So... neither?

I'd say Geogaddi only because it's got more of that 'enclosed' feeling. I see why MHTRTC would be considered, it has 'open' moments.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I think our best bet for a BoC release this year is late Summer. Typically there's about a month and a half waiting period between a Warp album's announcement and release, and it seems like it takes about a year from when an album is finished for it to be announced. Be poised for a June/July announcement. :shock:

Best bet indeed! I like your thinking. Especially because OPN (Daniel Lopatin) confirmed a new album this year and most people take him seriously. So why not believe a similar confirmation from MDG last year? I'm all game for this!

June was my prediction too. If something doesn't come by the end of the summer, I think we'll run out of excuses as to why the album could be "late."

So, I haven't been keeping myself up to date lately.

I know of a few likes and stuff a few months back, but has anything happened lately?

Dead animals are starting to pop up in surrounding areas and they've already told residents that it's 'safe' to go home (many residents have reported headaches and dizziness after returning). Counties say it's okay to drink the water and governor says not ok. Rodox is not kidding.

Are we sure that PM is 100% legit? Seems something pretty easy to modify with a picture editing tool

Define "on its way"

Could be that they are still thinking about doing it to it's in a warehouse and ready.

I won't be holding my breath.

On the other hand, if they wait too long, a sizeable amount of their fans will pass away of extreme age :D
Molest me not with this pocket calculator stuff.

Sorry, but you don't say something is on its way when you're only just thinking about doing it.
On its way implies way more than that.

In this instance, I think "on its way" could be applied to any part of the process. They might've finally decided to sit down and start writing, or they might've submitted the final thing for mastering. I mean, it's been 8 months since this message, so it clearly wasn't in the 'warehouse' stage back then, but who knows, maybe it is now?!

It's a super vague statement, but it does tell us that there will be a new Boards of Canada album coming out at some point, even though some folks are still convinced that BoC are done. :roll:
